That is awesome. Don't know how long you've had the car (both time and miles), but some feedback on any maintenance or repairs would be nice to know.

Fantastic..I am sure the General would love to hear about this and your adventures along the way. Should contact and let them know about you and your Corvette. Might be on their next commercial and become a celebrity along the way, lol.
